Yes, but somehow our top 4 main strikers either play exclusively or prefer to play through the middle.

And from the little I have seen from Hernandez, he seems to posses some pace, so him on the left could be an option. I honestly cannot see how we can have 7 strikers and play a system that requires one.

I am really pleased Cleverly is in the squad playing games, i think he is our best youth player since the 95 crop. He has shown at Watford he is a class act and certanly good enough for the prem. He could be that missing link in midfield we need. Fuck Sneijder we have Cleverly and I am not taking the piss either.

i am very much impressed with diouf in the first game…its beyond me..how no one on here even discuss about him….as we saw in the first game…if rooney is not available….diouf upfront with berba playing in the hole….i guess it would work perfectly!

In his comments the other day following the match against Celtic, sir alex said he thought Diouf and Berbatov worked really well together and suited each other. match wasn’t shown in the US, so I didn’t see it. But hey, I’ll take his word for it

Yeah, it seems odd to me that we have six or seven strikers, yet our preferred system over the last year or so has stacked the midfield, leaving room for only one. Same with wingers – seem to have a lot of them floating around, though Tosic has gone now. I understand the approach of throwing them all into the mix and seeing who comes out on top, but we do seem top-heavy at times. I’ve gone off Kiko. I like Obertan, Welbeck is really impressive, and Diouf too.

It’s the central midfield where I have concerns. It’s great that Scholes has said he might continue for another year after this, and who knows about Giggs? But IMHO, Carrick isn’t living up to it, I would be very surprised if Hargreaves ever comes back, and Anderson desperately needs a “Nani year” (like Nani had last year). Giggsy and Scholes can’t go forever, so for mine, the cupboard’s looking a bit bare in the middle. I was impressed by Cleverly, though. Hope to see more of him, not just in pre-season. But if reports are true, and Ozil is available for 12m, I reckon that’s a good deal. He’s only 21. Give him and Cleverly a year or two running around with Giggs and Scholes, and when those to legends retire, we could have a core of Fletcher, Anderson (I am sure he’ll make it), Cleverly and Ozil, with others in support.
